🌍 The Starting Point

Kragga Kamma — the name given to the river by the Khoikhoi people — where the river meets the Ocean. Since the globe is a circle, we could start anywhere, so we selected this location in “Africa” (using the colonial name “Africa”), because it is on the largest visible land on earth which is also the only land that includes “Equator (0° latitude)”, “Prime Meridian (0° longitude)”, “Tropic of Cancer in the north”, and “Tropic of Capricorn in the south”, using colonial words on earth — “Africa” (using the colonial name “Africa”). It is next to the South pole (using the colonial name) and toward the North pole (using the colonial name). The river is at this point and the line runs upwards toward the north pole (using the colonial name).

🌍 Your Address

With 6 decimal places, the system locates anything down to 11 centimeters. A house, a door, a meeting point — all just two numbers. No street name, no city, no country needed.

🌍 One System

The Peopleize World Coordinate System uses two numbers to locate any place on Earth. No colonial names. No hemispheres. Just DownUp ↕ and LeftRight ↔.

🌍 From 0 to 360

Both axes go from 0.000000 to 360.000000. One full circle around the Earth. No East/West. No North/South. Just one continuous number line.

🌍 Zero Point

Kragga Kamma is point (0.000000, 0.000000). Everything starts here. No country owns it. It belongs to everyone.

🌍 How to Calculate Distance

1. Your Peopleize Location:
↕ : 87.970833, ↔ : 14.082778

2. Distance Left/Right:
1 unit = ~111 km at the equator.
At your latitude (54°N): 1 unit = 111 × cos(54°) = 65.25 km

3. Your Distance from 0 Line:
14.082778 × 65.25 km = ~919 km

4. Distance Up/Down:
Vertical distance is simpler:
87.970833 × 111 km = ~9,765 km

Always use:
Distance (km) = value × 111 × cos(latitude)

Your Peopleize Location

↕ : 0.000000
↔ : 0.000000

Precision: 6 decimal places (~11 centimeters)

🌍 One Time

Ụwa yi — one time for everyone. We pick a common starting point (Kragga Kamma) and use the 24-hour spin of Earth. When it is 13:00 Ụwa yi at (↕ 0.000000, ↔ 0.000000), it may still be dark at another location. That is fine. Your day starts when you want it to start — not when the colonial system says the sun is up. Everyone knows it is one time on Earth, regardless of where the sun is.

🌍 Equal

Meet me at 10:13 Ụwa yi at ↕ : 45.123456, ↔ : 120.567891. That’s it. No country, no city, no street name. Just two numbers and one time.

🌍 Decolonized Time

No colonial names. No “East/West” or “North/South.” Built by people, for people. A system that belongs to no one — and serves everyone.
